Tempest $175 Myrtle Beach SC

Man you might want to think twice about that one, it's just a cabinet with the control panel... that would be some pretty serious cash to get that one back together.

ah...did you already check on it? he said he had the stuff to put it back together?

"everything else is there if you want to put those back in to have a working game"

I would interpret this to mean that you can provide your own board & monitor, not that he is offering up the stuff he removed.

hmmm...you are probably right :(

Wonder if that is a pic of the actual game or just one he swiped.
 
Tempest CABINET $175 Myrtle Beach

Yeah- you should have mentioned that it's just a cabinet in the title.

I saw this last year. He didn't have a whole lot of older stuff worth getting. There was a cabaret Pac that he was 'sure he had a working board for' that would be 3 or 4 hundred. I spent a lot of time digging through some boards he had and pulled out several. He wanted like ebay prices for untested boards with a small discount since he can't test it. I walked away from 4 or 5 Pacman boards once he established he wanted about $60 each. Chip picked them up with some other stuff. Too rich for my blood.

I did wind up getting a couple of Space Invaders sets and a Peter Packrat daughtercard for what I considered to be fair. I went through a LOT of boards and that's about the best I could find. Somebody obviously got the best stuff in the past.

He's an operator and maintains a few locations. He sells off stuff to have some more room, but he's not desperate at all.

The Tempest cab looked OK, but you would need the guts. I think he offered it at a (lower) price last year, but I've got no use for it. It's a cab and a harness. At least the control panel is still there.
 
Tempest Cabs

For what it's worth I have of 3 of the empty cabinets and another friend who is on Klov has 2. I'd sell them for $100 and I'm sure he would too.

In Tampa, FL btw.

yeah the CL ad is a little deceptive...if it's missing the monitor and boards it should just say they are missing...i dont like the way he worded it...i wouldn't have posted about it if i knew it was missing the monitor, much less the boards...i thought the guy still had the parts and had just taken them out.

oh well...

Hmmm, I need a new cab to replace mine which is falling apart. Coming to Georgia any time?
